And @blak – I really DIDN’T know you could address a female with -kun. Sort of a “der/die” distinction in German; I wouldn’t reference my wife as “er ist” notwithstanding how tough she is.

1. Go to http://mibbit.com/irc/
2. Where it says IRC: Mibbit [webirc] , click the dropdown box and select Rizon [webirc] . (Protip: When you open up the dropdown box, you can simply type in r to get transported to the section with r’s in it instead of having to scroll down.)
3. Under Nick: it should say mib_FASD@#SF or something similar. (Yes, I did just write gibberish for the ending.) Change that to whatever you want to go by. Rekki would probably work. It seems like an uncommon name. Your choice, though.
4. Under Channel: put #koharubi . Yes. The # is intentionally put there.
5. Now click Go .
6. Okay. Now you’re on our channel. You’re about to be blasted by a bright array of colors and people offering you sexual services. Or maybe they just offer that to me cuz I’m so damn sexy. Err… Yeah, back on topic. Now you’re in the channel. Click Idlers on the right hand of the screen to bring up the list of people in the channel.
7. You’re gonna see a bunch of names followed by some symbols. Click on Dark_Sage once and choose PM.
8. A new tab will pop up. Send me a message.

You can switch back to the main chat anytime. It’s kind of lonely now with college having started and everything, though. It should be relatively easy to do. ’specially for a genius lawyerman.

However, it might take me a bit to get back to you, especially today, and with mibbit being a browser-based client, you’re probably gonna exit out of it so I can’t respond to you… But we’ll work something out. I’m still a wet-behind-the-ears college student, so I’m working/in class from 8 to 8 today with very few breaks.

I don’t really feel like typing up how to get on it with a program (mIRC), but I’ll tell you how to do it if you can find me on IRC through Mibbit or whatever. Oh, and it’s kind of handy to have IRC as most fansub groups operate through it. I’m sure we’re not the only group you like, so you could talk to those other groups you like too!

Nope, sorry… it’s from the title of a William Gibson novel.

In Japan, it’s pretty common for addressing someone of the equal or lower status/power (usually used among colleagues) with a “-kun.” It’s neither rude nor too formal and appending “-chan” usually refers to a child or a non-formal or friendly (as in a way a friend calls another friend) way of addressing a female acquaintance. Appending “-san” is a formal way of addressing someone. You would also append “-san” when you’re talking about/to someone of a superior status.

President Roma can address President Oumi as “Oumi-san” but he doesn’t. Both “-san” and “-kun” are acceptable. The suffix “-kun” isn’t just for addressing a male.

I hope that cleared your confusion.

Or… what do you do?

Come to think of it, just get on IRC and send me a query. ^.^

That said, RELEASE EPISODE 11 NOW, MOTHERF*CKER!!
